René Vietto
René Vietto (17 February 1914 – 14 October 1988) was a French road racing cyclist. In the 1934 Tour de France, Vietto, a relative unknown, got wings on the mountains. This was not a surprise, because he had won the Grand Prix Wolber. He was prepared for the Alps and won easily on the steepest terrain. After he won the two major Alpine stages, journalists reported that this 'boy' could be the purest mountain climber that France knew. Vietto rode the Tour de France for the first time in 1934, as member of the French national team, in support of his team leader Antonin Magne. Magne was leading the race since the second stage; Vietto was already more than 50 minutes behind him after the sixth stage. But Vietto excelled in the mountains, winning stages 7, 9 and 11. In the 16th stage, Vietto was again performing well in the mountains. He passed first on the Col de Port and second on the Col de Portet d'Aspet behind the escaped Adriano Vignoli, thereby taking the lead in the ...

Velodrome
A velodrome is an arena for track cycling. Modern velodromes feature steeply banked oval tracks, consisting of two 180-degree circular bends connected by two straights. The straights transition to the circular turn through a moderate easement curve. History The first velodromes were constructed during the late 1870s, the oldest of which is the Preston Park Velodrome, Brighton, United Kingdom, built in 1877 by the British Army. Some were purpose-built just for cycling, and others were built as part of facilities for other sports; many were built around athletics tracks or other grounds and any banking was shallow. Reflecting the then-lack of international standards, sizes varied and not all were built as ovals: for example, Preston Park is long and features four straights linked by banked curves, while the Portsmouth velodrome, in Portsmouth, has a single straight linked by one long curve. The oldest surviving regular velodrome two-straight oval tracks is from 1889, locate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
